We’re looking for great people to join our Camp team! Do you enjoy helping others find the best in themselves? Is it rewarding to help others find their sense of accomplishment? Are you fun, energetic, and a great role model for kids? We need awesome people to help give campers an incredible Spring and Summer Camp experience at Autumn’s Gate.
Your responsibilities may include:
- - smiling constantly… or at minimum consistently 😉

We aim to instill confidence, empowerment, and responsibility in everything we do. If these are not qualities that you agree with or that you find of little importance… you won’t like it here very much.
Please only apply if you generally AGREE with the following statement:
“Life is pretty awesome!”
If your ONLY motivation is to get through the day for a paycheck, I suggest a less demanding, more standardized position, such as in retail, hospitality, or of the many wonderful quick-serve restaurants in our area. We are looking for someone who genuinely cares about what kind of impact they make on the world. Someone who strives to be a role model and takes pride in giving their all to everything they do.
